:After adding straight tap water at 250ppm and (60 ml of Botinacare power cloner)"nothing else". To my suprise 3 days later full on roots and at 7 days completly blown out Im talking the whole stem from top to bottom ready to go into the big system, After the 7 th day I bring my ppm's 500 with Roots Excel, Canna Aqua Vega A + B Lower the Botinacare to half strength and you have clones that are ready to rock... I will post some pics of all 3 cloners and let them speak for them self.. :bong-hits: ....JACK
Yes I have tried it all RO water only, Tap Water Only, Cloning gel with tap water cloning gel with RO water, And every other combo...Tap water is 100% better what happens with RO water is the clones end up flushing and then the have to fight to stay alive it stripps all the nutes out of them.With tap water mine is 250 ppm it allows the plants to have a tiny amount to stay alive on and make roots.I have taken thousand of clones in the last year and the above is the best hands down.
I have used a chiller a timer on the pump works just as well 15min on 15min off
I start off with straight RO then add 60 ml total of Power cloner PH to 5.9 After 5 days add 1 ml per gallon of Roots Excel. Thats what I have found to give me best results.JACK:joint:
As far as ppm's I start at 250 ppm and then add 60 ml of power cloner what ever it comes to after that it should be between 400 to 500.And when you start to see nubs forming thats when I add Roots Excel at 1 ml per gallon..JACK
I have one Turbo cloner I am running 30 seconds on and 15 minutes off and the cuttings look great and the water temp sits around 71 degrees, I will stick to this from here on out..JACK:joint:
This is not for people who dont have problems cloning. And read the bottle again every one makes this mistake it does not say 40 to 60 ml per galloin it says 40 to 60 ml the first 3 to 5 days.
A chiller is a waist you only need a timer start off with 10 on 15 off adjust as needed

Just picked up a hand me down ez cloner 120 today and sorry if I'm a little confused about a couple things.
One is the on/off time of the cycle timer. I'm guessing start with 1 on and 4 off and as roots grow slowly increase to 15 minutes off.
The other is ppm levels. My tap is about 80 ppm. I can add bloom nutes I have laying around to reach 250 ppm. Then is it 60ml power clone to reach 400-500 ppm, or is it 60ml power clone, then 1ml/gallon roots excel plus nutes to reach 500ppm. Neither Power Clone or Roots excel seem to raise my ppms very much.
Also, when you say you lower
botanicare to half strength after a week, are you draining the rez? If so, how often are you draining the rez from the day 1? The directions on my bottle of Power Clone apply only to soil container gardening.
